Agreed. This story is clearly pushing an agenda to an extreme degree. They spent a lot of time linking to different things and past stories, but the claim of having killed seven people gets almost no coverage in the story. Can we at least get a source to where they’re getting that information?

The link[1] contains the following under the heading, "Reason For Early Alert": > Abbott Diabetes Care stated that certain FreeStyle Libre 3 and FreeStyle Libre 3 Plus sensors provide incorrect low glucose readings. If undetected, incorrect low glucose readings over an extended period may lead to wrong treatment decisions for people living with diabetes, such as excessive carbohydrate intake or skipping or delaying insulin doses. These decisions may pose serious health risks, including potential injury or death, or other less serious complications. > As of November 14, 2025, Abbott has reported 736 serious injuries, and seven deaths associated with this issue.
